Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the fields of medicinal chemistry and treatment of inflammatory disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to prodrugs of JNK inhibitors, processes for making said inhibitors, and corresponding methods, formulations, and compositions for inhibiting JNK and treating JNK-mediated disorders, and the like.
  • WO2008028860 discloses novel benzotriazole derivatives as JNK and CDK modulators.
  • WO2006038001 discloses aminopyrimidine derivatives as selective inhibitors of c- Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) enzymes for the treatment of adverse inflammatory, vascular, neurodegenerative, metabolic, oncological, nociceptive and ophthalmic conditions.
  • ALAM ET AL's article, BIOORGANIC & MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS, vol. 17, no. 12, pages 3463-3467 discloses the synthesis and SAR of aminopyrimidines as novel c-Jun Nterminal kinase (JNK) inhibitors"
  • JNKs The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of mitogen-activated protein kinase family along with p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). Three distinct genes (jnk1, jnk2 andjnk3) encoding 10 splice variants have been identified. JNK1 and JNK2 are expressed in a wide variety of tissues, whereas JNK3 is mainly expressed in neurons, and to a lesser extent in heart and testes. Members of JNK family are activated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor ⁇ (TNF- ⁇ ) and interleukin-1 ⁇ (IL-1 ⁇ ), as well as environmental stresses.
  • TNF- ⁇ tumor necrosis factor ⁇
  • IL-1 ⁇ interleukin-1 ⁇
  • JNKs The activation of JNKs is mediated by its upstream kinases, MKK4 and MKK7, via dual phosphorylation of Thr-183 and Tyr-185. It has been shown that MKK4 and MKK7 can be activated by the diverse upstream kinases, including MEKK1 and MEKK4, depending upon the external stimuli and cellular context.
  • the specificity of JNK signaling is achieved by forming a JNK-specific signaling complex containing multiple components of the kinase cascade by use of scaffold proteins called JNK-interacting proteins.
  • JNKs have been shown to play important roles in inflammation, T cell functions, apoptosis and cellular survival by phosphorylating specific substrates, including transcription factors such as c-Jun, the component of activator protein-1 (AP1) family, and ATF2, as well as non-transcription factors such as IRS-1 and Bcl-2.
  • c-Jun transcription factors
  • AP1 activator protein-1
  • ATF2 non-transcription factors
  • IRS-1 and Bcl-2 non-transcription factors
  • Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints. In addition to the joint swelling and pain caused by the inflammatory process, most RA patients ultimately develop debilitating joint damage and deformation.
  • RA Rheumatoid arthritis
  • JNK abnormal activation of JNK was detected in both human arthritic joints from RA patients and rodent arthritic joints from animal models of arthritis.
  • inhibition of JNK activation by selective JNK inhibitors blocked proinflammatory cytokines and MMP production in human synoviocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes.
  • administration of the selective JNK inhibitors in rats with adjuvant arthritis or in mice with collagen-induced arthritis effectively protected joints from destruction and significantly reduced paw swelling by inhibiting cytokine and collagenase expression.
  • Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of airways, characterized by the presence of a cellular inflammatory process and by bronchial hyper-responsiveness associated with structural changes of the airways.
  • This disorder has been shown to be driven by many cell types in the airways, including T lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, neutrophils and epithelial cells.
  • JNKs have emerged as promising therapeutic targets for asthma based upon the recent proof-of-concept studies: it has been shown that JNK inhibitors significantly blocked RANTES production in activated human airway smooth cells. More importantly, the JNK inhibitors showed good efficacy in chronic rat and mouse models for their abilities to reduce cellular infiltration, inflammation, hyper-responsiveness, smooth muscle proliferation, and IgE production.
  • Type 2 diabetes is the most serious and prevalent metabolic disease characterized by insulin resistance and insulin secretion impairment as a result of chronic low-level inflammation and abnormal lipid metabolism associated with oxidative stress. It has been reported that JNK activity is abnormally elevated in various diabetic target tissues under obese and diabetic conditions. Activation of the JNK pathway by pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stresses negatively regulates insulin signaling via phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) at Ser 307 , therefore contributes to insulin resistance and glucose tolerance. Compelling genetic evidence came from elegant animal model studies using jnk -/- mice crossed with either genetic ( ob / ob ) obese mice or dietary obese mice.
  • AD Alzheimer's
  • PD Parkinson's
  • Stroke are CNS diseases characterized by synaptic loss, neuronal atrophy and death.
  • the JNK pathway leading to c-Jun activation has been shown to play a causal role in apoptosis of isolated primary embryonic neurons and multiple neuronal cell lines upon induction of a variety of stimuli.
  • JNK inhibitory peptide JIP-1 peptide
  • JNK inhibitory peptide JIP-1 peptide
  • JIP-1 peptide JIP-1 peptide
  • mice deficient in JNK3, but not JNK1 or JNK2 were resistant to kainic acid (glutamate receptor agonist)-mediated seizure or neuronal death.
  • JNK signal transduction pathway may not act exclusively in apoptosis, sustained JNK activation leading to AP1 activation has recently been implicated to contribute to the cellular survival of specific cancer types such as glial tumors and BCL-ABL transformed B lymphoblasts.
  • glial tumors In the case of glial tumors, enhanced JNK/AP1 activity was seen in most of the primary brain tumor samples.
  • BCL-ABL was shown to activate the JNK pathway which in turn up-regulated expression of anti-apoptotic bcl-2 gene.
